XCMG has delivered its 1000-ton all-terrain crane XCA1000G8-1K to South Korea. With this, the Chinese manufacturer is entering a market that has so far been firmly in European hands. For established providers such as Liebherr, Tadano Demag or Spierings, this means: price pressure is increasing. Chinese cranes are typically 20 to 30 percent below European price levels – with comparable load capacity.
